This despite the fact that X rules clearly state that its users “may not attack other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin” etc. X owner Elon Musk had also been facing increasing pressure from Indians to suspend the account for violating community guidelines.

A 2017 report British news website The New Statesman had revealed that the pictures on Barry Stanton’s account were stolen from another man, a pensioner from Worcestershire. “Barry Stanton does not ex – or, not in the way Twitter users want to think he does. The account is a parody, created either a liberal mocking the racs they detest or a real rac spreading their views via humour while hiding behind another person’s face,” The New Statesman report suggested.
